No level requirement for this; obtainable at level 1. However, since you will always receive Mom the Adventurer instead of this quest whilst you are Fame 1, it is, by definition, required Fame 2. In this fashion it might also serve as a sort of mini fame guide; but of course you would have to complete Mom t A every time you got it, in order to check if you were fame 2 next time. Better used as a way to gather fame for such required fame 2 quests as Mean Machine, acquired in the Bastok Metalworks from Unlucky Rat. And of course, with a built-in alarm to tell you when to stop running it; soon as you stop getting MtA and receive Signpost instead, go do Mean Machine. test test test test test test test

If you've gone to Konschtat and got the key item, but when you talk to Nbu Lateh, she keeps saying that the guard is looking, and she needs to make a living, you need to go talk to her daughter, in Bastok Mines, like the first quest.

Ok, I have no idea what my fame level is or any of that, but I was able to get the quest. I then went to Windurst to do some quests and level my mages. Came back to Bastok and on my way remembered about the signpost thing, so stopped off at the first signpost I saw and got the key item. Went into town, talked to Nbu and all she says is that some guard is looking at her. I can't figure out how to FINISH this quest. I've tried talking to her at night, during the day, at dusk, on several different days, but still nothing. Any ideas?

Nevermind... Supposed to talk to Roh, not Nbu to finish the quest. I skipped over that part of the instructions.

At lvl 8 she offered me the quest, and I only finished Mission 1. I did do a crapload of the other quests, including the copper ring only once, and a bunch of repeatables. She offered this to me, when I went to try repeating the ring. No dice. Anyways, I searched G4-G5 like a madman and all I found was death. Not bad considering I didnt want to walk all the way back anyways. Haha, 11 sux with this long distance garbage

minimum level on ALL OF THE QUESTS basically just means you will die if you try to do it before that level... going into Konschtat highlands for any reason at level 1 is just dumb.... yes of course you can avoid aggro and do it but why not wait?

might have something to do with not losing exp... . Let's see....linen robe can be used at level 12 --still a level that you can die to in the highlands--, but of course, since he's a level 1 warrior, he couldn't need a linen robe....

Not like there's some kind of flying mouse thingy that changes your job in some magical {Bastok Residential Area}, kupopo.

One thing to consider for those of you who have not gotten the quest is whether or not you "read" the letter from her daughter. If you open up the key items menu and read the letter, then Nbu Lattah's response is a bit different. I recommend not reading the letter if you want a second quest; not sure if it affects it or not though.

If you seem to have lots of fame, and have finished the first quest, and still don't seem to be able to get this quest, then your problem is likely to be as follows:

You picked up the 1st quest again some time ago, and now she won't give you the 2nd quest since you have the 1st quest in progress again. Unfortunetely, it is VERY hard to tell this is the case since your quest log will show the first quest as "completed" and she won't say anything different to you.

If this is your problem, simply go buy a copper ring, and give it her daughter again. You should get another letter. Return and give that to Nbu, then exit the zone, return and talk to Nbu again. You should now be able to get this quest.

I tried to attain quest and was turned down. I logged for the day. Today I log on and hola he gives me the quest, which was great cause i planed on doing the crystal line mission, signpost all in one trip. My two gil hope it helps someone.

I took my Galka Monk, with a few quests and missions under his belt one was the ring (Mom, the Adventurer?) without reading the letter (I did it for the gil) and got this quest the first time I asked... at the time I was not even close to being able to use the robe... or brave the Highlands for that matter...

I don't know if the quest names have been changed recently, but a few of these quest names just don't match the names in my quest log. This one for example is called "The Signpost Marks the Spot". Quest names don't vary between race or class, do they?

I got this mission at level 8 after doing the copper ring one (I read the letter). I've done 13 different 'quests' (some of them more than once) but my rank from 'missions' is just 1 because I got that quadav mission with all the body parts and haven't got all the body parts yet. So if you need low fame, then fame is rank and not quest related maybe?

I've done 13 quests AND finished the Quadav Part mission, making me rank 2. I'm a level 11 WM at the moment, and Nbu still doesn't give me the quest for the robe. Yes, I finished the copper ring quest, but I bought a ring instead of creating one. Perhaps we need to create a ring instead of buying one? Any thoughts/experiences?

Keep doing the ring quest until she offers it to you. Your fame goes up each time you complete it, so she'll let you know when you'rr famous enough -- BTW -- to all you black mages and/or gil hunters, once she gives you this quest, you're famous enough to do the warp scroll quest in the metal works. :D

I was only able to get this quest after completing the first quest and also accepting Mission 4. If you're having trouble getting Mission 4 you can cough up a stack of crystals to the guard that casts signet on you.
